Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Senior Assistant Attorney General Norman Mark Rapoport, of Columbia; and Solicitor Christina Theos Adams, of Anderson, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: �Reynaldo Gonzalez appeals his aggregate sixteen-and-a-half-year sentence for trafficking methamphetamine, conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine, and possession of crack-cocaine, arguing the trial court erred in sentencing him to more than fifteen years' imprisonment when the State retracted a plea offer for fifteen years' imprisonment before completely complying with his discovery requests.� We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities:� In re M.B.H., 387 S.C. 323, 326, 692 S.E.2d 541, 542 (2010) (stating the trial court has broad discretion in sentencing within statutory limits and a sentence will not be overturned absent an abuse of discretion when the ruling is based on an error of law or factual conclusion lacking evidentiary support);� S.C. Code Ann. � 44-53-375(C)(2)(a) (Supp. 2009) (mandating a sentence between seven and twenty-five years' imprisonment for trafficking between twenty-eight and one hundred grams of methamphetamine).

AFFIRMED.
